”Working with Vishal was truly outstanding. Not only is he a wonderful human being, but he also has an exceptional ability to connect with each individual on a personal level. As someone who had never practiced yoga before, I felt seen, understood, and completely safe in his presence.

Vishal intuitively responded to my needs and created an atmosphere that allowed me to let go and fully immerse myself in the practice. Through his guidance, I was able to open up to something I had previously resisted – yoga.

Over the course of five days, practicing twice a day with him, I felt a significant shift in both my inner calm and physical well-being. His teaching style is mindful, patient, and deeply rooted in awareness. I could not have asked for a better introduction to yoga. Vishal’s impact on my journey is something I will carry with me for a long time.”

"About two years ago, I discovered Vishal teaching at a random drop-in class at HIYC in Dharamkot, India. Since then, I've continued with his guidance through more advanced courses and into self-practice. Before this, my limited yoga experience was from long ago and focused mainly on physical aspects. Yoga had never come easily to me; I saw it as something I "needed to do" and felt limited by my ability to do it "well."

This time, Vishal introduced me to the deeper aspects of the practice, which I saw as the missing piece in my spiritual journey. It wasn't theoretical – it was, and is, a living practice through yoga, centered on awareness that goes beyond the thinking mind and meets you where you are (flexible or not - I'm not! - with whatever mental blocks that may arise).

Vishal's calm, still, and strong presence, combined with his clear guidance for each asana, emphasizes relaxation and presence in each pose. In his teaching, he often asks us to "Check," "Connect," be "Objective" and non-judgmental in our practice, to accept things as they are. Learning to combine relaxation with stretching has helped me work through limitations and overcome both mental and physical blocks in a safe, healing space.

Through this practice, I've noticed ongoing positive changes in both body and mind. The essence of this Yoga practice, through my eyes, lies in body awareness – which I believe is the gateway to healing and growth. Vishal embodies this essence, and I feel very blessed to have had him as my Yoga teacher."
